Be wary of any dyno being operated at a show. Seems usually the people running it have only a vague idea of what they're doing. I haven't seen one yet that I would trust with my car.

Why do you say that? It looks like they have BrandXPerformance running the dyno. Have you seen them at other events where there practices are questionable? I would hope that a company that brings in their own mobile dyno would know what they're doing.

I'm not going to be able to make this meet either. My mom told me yesterday that I have a doctors and dentist appointment during the week before this and I already am requesting like 3 days off the week before this so another day off and they might just fire me. FML
